Evening out with boys....

Yesterday, we went to see the Montreal Impact (soccer/football) play against the New York Red Bulls. It was a great game and, so exciting for the boys, was that the Impact won! 3-0. I think that the excitement accompanying the goals almost equaled the excitement that accompanied the multiple snack bars on the way into the stadium. Disclosure: I was the worst-mother-ever and said no to the snacks. Paying $5 for a bottle of water and $5 for a hotdog (yes, one hotdog) was NOT on the agenda! Anyway, we had a great time and I was later forgiven (they got 2 hotdogs each at a non-stadium restaurant). Go, Impact, go!

Happy Sunday xox

Arriving at the stadium...

Oliver thought the seats were like toilets.... ummm... ok? ;)

So excited!

In case you are wondering where Alexander is, he absolutely refused to be in pictures..... maybe it was grumpiness due to the lack of expensive snacks... ;)

Go, Impact, go!

Alexander FINALLY gets into it.... :P

Woo hoo!

2-0!

Almost at the end of the game!

Impact scores again!

3-0!

Great game! Love the photo-bomber in the background ;)

On our way to out of stadium hotdogs ;)

3-0! Great game!

Evening out

Maybe I forgot to mention that it was my 45th birthday at the end of June- the 25th to be exact-... and maybe I forgot to mention it because we were in an airplane for a good chunk of the day. Let me tell you that being in an airplane is not very conducive to celebrating birthdays ;) Anyway, at this point in my life, I am not so into celebrating birthdays... however, Sunday night, my lovely husband treated me to a great dinner at a local place called Musselbaren (= if you don't like mussels, forget it). I LOVE mussels and these ones were harvested just a few meters away... can you say "fresh"? We had a nice (and quiet = no boys with us) time. It almost made it worth being one year older ;)

Football/soccer night out :)

Last night, Andreas and I took the boys to their first ever pro football/soccer game: Montreal Impact vs a team from Pachuca, Mexico (Pachuca FC). The winner would go to the CONCACAF semi finals (Impact tied, by the way, in the last seconds of the game- enough to move them on- see link here).  It ended up being a great game with, surprisingly for a Canadian city (especially a hockey city!), a great environment! The boys LOVED it (and so did Andreas and I).

We drove through a snow storm to get to the Olympic Stadium.... obviously, an indoor game ;).... but so did another 38,104 other people. It was fun to be at the party :)

That poor Mexican team ;)

Nothing like snow to say "SOCCER" ;)

Play on ;)

Ready for action

Woo hoo!

Get the party started!

Can't even see the action! ;)

Resemblance?

Oliver's regular seat ;)

Family shot

Mothers like soccer too? ;)

Party animal...

No need for words....

Ahh.... so close!

Go Impact!

More boys

Party!
